I don't think any "historians" asked for it to be pulled. What happened is that some Democrats, terrified that some misinformation in the film would lose votes for their candidates in the next election, demanded that it be pulled. The hilarious part about this is that many of the same people calling for this film not to be aired (including our own Judy Stein) are the SAME people who threw a hissy fit and screamed to high heaven when Republicans tried to keep Fahrenheit 9/11 from being aired on public TV before the 2004 election (and for the exact same reason...they were afraid that film would lose votes for *their* candidates). Basically, it's a pretty fascinating study in hypocrisy. The bottom line for the censor's mindset seems to be that it's only censorship if the other guys are doing it. When *we* do it, it's something else, something noble. Yeah, right. > My understanding is that it aired wthout commercials? > Who paid for it?
